Why Does This Score Ultra-Processed?

In our analysis, Turkey Meatballs scores Ultra-Processed. That classification is shaped by ingredients commonly associated with ultra-processed foods:

  • Processed Meats (Mechanically Separated Turkey): Mechanically separated and reformed meats are UPF markers.
  • Processed Dairy Ingredients (Soy Protein Concentrate, Soy Protein Isolate): Isolated proteins and modified ingredients indicate UPF.
  • Natural Flavors (Natural Flavor): Despite being natural, these are highly processed extracts.

Within Bacon, Sausage & Hot Dogs, this product is more processed than about 88% of the 6,852 products we've analyzed.

Processing classification reflects ingredient and additive analysis, not a judgment of any product's safety, quality, or healthfulness.
